3 Effective Ways to Practice Math

The goal is to make connections between topics and within math principles.

To do this, you can start by talking about the material in 3 different forms:

1. Pictorial / Model Form

2. Written / Word form

3. Numerical form

What you want to do is to start off with one of the forms and have your child give you the two other formats. For example: You would give them the written description of a fraction or multiplication problem. Then, you ask them to write this in model form/pictorial and numerical form.

Your child will be practicing recognizing symbol, pictures, and key words that are used in schoolwork and tests.
